The Material Fabrication Sessions

What, Where & When

What: An informal class covering the use of shop tools, with a focus on project-based learning.
When: 8:00pm till ~9:30 most Fridays (monitor the discuss list for exceptions)
Where: Noisebridge, 83C Wiese, San Francisco (near 16th St. BART). Map: Getting HereWho: Folks interested in learning how to use tools to make physical things (you?)
Cost: Free, but people may be asked to pay for the cost of materials from time to time. Donations of tools or money to buy tools for Noisebridge are welcome.

An initial project we're focusing on is making a small, portable book-press
suitable for making pocket booklets. While we'll be going over the use of
traditional basic shop tools, we also encourage thinking outside the box.

Additional project ideas / activities for consideration:

Enclosures for electronics projects (we're a bit limited in this regard until

we manage to obtain a press
and some other basic sheet-metal working tools.
